tinox tio2 manufacturer

In the world of printing, the quality of ink is paramount. It not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the final product but also its durability and resistance to environmental factors. One key component that significantly influences the grade of printing ink is the use of rutile titanium dioxide, particularly the R-906 grade. This specialized pigment offers a range of benefits that make it an essential ingredient for manufacturers seeking to elevate their ink formulations.

In a 2016 study published in Scientifica (Cairo), Egyptian researchers examined the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the organs of mice by orally administering the food additive daily, for five days. The results showed that the exposure produced “mild to moderate changes in the cytoarchitecture of brain tissue in a time dependent manner.” Furthermore, “Comet assay revealed the apoptotic DNA fragmentation, while PCR-SSCP pattern and direct sequencing showed point mutation of Presenilin 1 gene at exon 5, gene linked to inherited forms of Alzheimer’s disease.” The researchers wrote: “From these findings, “the present study concluded that TiO2NPs is genotoxic and mutagenic to brain tissue which in turn might lead to Alzheimer’s disease incidence.”

  • All food businesses currently using titanium dioxide as a food additive have a legal responsibility to comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2022/63, banning the use of titanium dioxide. The FSAI encourages food businesses to source suitable alternatives to titanium dioxide and start the process of reformulation now to ensure compliance in advance of the ban coming into force on 7 August 2022.

  • Ultimately, more research is needed to fully understand the potential risks of TiO2 in water supplies and to develop effective strategies for mitigating those risks. By staying informed and making informed choices, we can help ensure that TiO2 does not pose a threat to human health or the environment.
